Geeck Galz's February Challenge

Valentines are over at the Gecko Galz Scrapbooking website/  We hope you will join in on the fun.  Show us your favorite Valentine creation.

This is a check or money holder.  Hopefully you receive one of these filled with cash so you can go craft shopping.

This interesting background is a recycled card that I had received in the past..  I cut it apart and am using it for a mat.

And your free digital for this month is below.

February is Love

\

February is the month for Love at Gecko Glaz.   I made a variety of items for my samples this time.  Firstly  are some tags.

 For this one I used a couple of stickers to accent the black and white Gecko Galz image.

One this black and white I added some white, pink, and red tiiny foam flowers.

 

This time I not only used a Gecko Galz image, but I used one of their many backgrounds.

 

The mat on this card is from a shiny paper bag.

The main thing I like about digitals is the fact you can change the size to fit your need.

The Twincie I have above and below here will be put on a card as an opening tab.  These images were reduced to 1 1/2 inches and they were a little hard to cut out.

 

 The following card is a little different.  It is a shaker card and you can see the Gecko Galz Zen Cupcake through the window..  I made this birthday card for a special friend. 

\Thank you visiting my blog and here is a free digital stamp for you thanks to the generosity of Gecko Galz..  Just right click on the image and then save.

Twinchie

It has been a long time since I have made a Twinchie.  What is a Twinchie?   Well is a piece of art that measure 2"  by 2".  This one uses an image from Gecko Galz.

Second Week of "Valentine" Challenge

You have one more week in which you can enter my challenge "Valentine".  It can be any type of creations as long as it follows the theme.

Vicki

My card as well of that of a couple other Design Team members shows the "kid" in us.  We, unbeknown to each other, chose to work with the cute Sweet Pea Stamps' Dino Valentine.  I colored mine with Copic markers and placed him on a polka dot designer paper and a green base card.  As an embellishment I added a couple of foam hearts

Hazel

This was created digitally using the Sweet Pea Stamps Helena Reis' follow your heart digital image which I had previous coloured with spectrum pens and then imported on to the Valentine background softening the edges and making a scalloped heart cut out.

Karla

For the second week of "Valentine", I've created a card using an image designed by Conie Fong. It's called Tori The Dragon Raining Hearts and you can find it at Sweet Peas Stamps. I hand coloured my lovely image and layered it onto two scrapbook papers from Toke e Crie. Then,I adorned my card with some hearts, crystals, ribbons and lace.The sentiment is from Creative Imaginations. Hope you continue playing along with us. Have a magical week, my lovelies!

Michele

The digital stamp I used and colored with pencils is called "Tori the dragon raining hearts" and is a stamp designed by Conie Fong for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I outlined my cut piece with markers.  I also colored the cardstock with markers and then bordered the piece with rickrack.  I added a "be mine" sentiment from my stash and two heart brads by Eyelet Outlet
.

Barbara

For the second week of the Valentine challenge I chose Blossom by Theresa Sherman at Sweet Pea Stamps. isn't she beautiful. I'm still not sure where my valentine stamps are, I know I don't have a lot of them as I only send a couple of valentines now that my grandsons are 18, 22 and 25. I do have a great grandson and his is made. I used some spica glitter pens on the flowers and bracelet, although it doesn't show up in the picture. This is an easel card and I really like making them. The image was cut with labels 8 and layered on Decorative labels 8. (my favourite)

A special "Thank You" to Sweet Pea Stamps for sponsoring this challenge.



A Vallentine Tag

I am in the mood for romance.  This little tag was made for Gecko Galz.  It uses one of their dancing couple images from one of their Two 2 Tango collage sheets.  The basic tag has a background made of  music designer paper which has a mannequin and a clock imprinted.  Additional items on the tag are a corner diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs, a couple of sticker hearts and sentiment and dainty lace down the side.  A loop of ribbon was attached instead of looping it over the tag hole..

 

My Heart Flies to You

Here is another Steampunk type card with an image and sentiment from CS Designs.  The heart is colored with Copic markers.  The wings are some I made and cut out of cardstock.  I put some pop dots under the heart to give her a little dimension.  The sentiment was put on a tag and a polka dot ribbon finishes the card.
